in Motivation and Support
After browsing the threads, I realized there was no place to share motivational quotes/images!

Feel free to stop by for a boost of motivation, share your own images/quotes, or save some of your favorites for those hard days.

Here are a few of my favorites:

"A year from now, you will wish you had started today"

"Think of that feeling you'll get when you reach your goal weight"

    Not a quote, but a wonderful Eric Bibb song, “Just Keep Goin’ On,” that I found very motivating to walk to while in rehab after major surgery:

    If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

    If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.

    People try to impress you with the things they have done ... You should be more impressed with things they would never do.

    The Elephant Rope

    As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

    He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

    The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

    Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

    Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggles in life.

    The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
    Explanation
    Al Hirschfeld's quote "The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak" beautifully encapsulates the power and essence of minimalism. In a world filled with distractions and complexities, this quote serves as a reminder of the importance of clarity and focus. By stripping away the superfluous, whether it be in art, writing, or even in life, we allow the essential elements to shine through. It is through simplification that we uncover the true essence and message, enabling it to resonate with greater impact. This quote emphasizes the profound beauty in simplicity and inspires us to seek elegance and clarity in all aspects of our lives.
